IT was stated in the APPRAL on Sat-
urday last that the salary Of the Rev.
Davis Seesums, rector OF Calvary
Church here, "has been $500 per
annum, but Calvary pays $4,000 tot Il
to 8 rector, DR.. White being allowed
$l6C0 as rector emeritus during his
lifetime" We are requested TO say
that this is mistake. DR.. White ia
allowed only $500 per anuum, only
$500 OF which was paid last year. The
Rev. DR.. Viii % Is not dependent on the
small sum allowed him, but he has
earned ell that the church can posi-
bly, bestow upon him. For nearly
thirty years he has been rector OF
Calvary Church OF this city. For
sixty years he has been an unfagSipg
and Jealous worker in the Episcop al
Church. The prosperity of that de-
nomination filed his heart and brain
for over half a century. He wore
himself out in making Calvary Church
building one Of the most beautiful
edifices in the city. While rejoicing
over the completion of the structure
to which he bad given his life, his
wife sickened aud died. The blow 90
shocked his eyetem that he lives a
physical wreck, But he has the sim
cere love, esteem aud affection OF the
entire community. The vestrymen
OF Calvary Church heard with
painful surprise and unmeas-
uIed regret that the Rsv. Davis
Sessums had rendered his resignation
and the entire community will share
IN this regret, Tor as rector Of Calvary
Church he has for years faithfully and
With singlenes5 OF heart and purpose
devoted his great powers end energies
20 the spiritual growth and develop
meut OF the parleh with marked and
manifest efficiency aud success. As
TIE years rolled on he kas daily be-
come more sincerely respected, more
July appreciated and dyed, and his
slgaation Of the rec.orship is regard
ed as a calamity,
